There may be an increased risk of trapping hands or fingers in car doors compared to other types of doors.
In some car accidents, injury to occupants from the movement of car doors may occur.
Bicyclists often fear collision with an opening car door in case the car's occupant does not look carefully to check that it is safe to open the door. Because cyclists often ride near parked cars along the side of the road (door zone) they are particularly vulnerable to this.
